A slight hijack to your thread, REX:

"This year in America, more than 211,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 43,300 die. One woman in eight either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. In addition, 1,600 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 400 will die this year. If detected early, the five-year survival rate exceeds 95%."
Thank you for mentioning men here. I am a male breast cancer suvivor (8 years now). It is difficuly to to get anyone interested in the fact that men die from this disease too. I wrote an email to one of the national breast cancer awareness groups about the fact that their adds did not even mention that males die from breast cancer too, and they did not even have the courtesy to answer my email. And, I did mention that I am a male breast cancer suvivor.
